bc u need a population vote
it made it permanent.
The Reappointment Act of 1929 was passed to address the need for a more equitable distribution of congressional representation in response to population shifts identified in the 1930 Census. It established a formula for redistributing seats in the House of Representatives, limiting the total number of seats to 435. This act aimed to prevent the continuous increase in the number of representatives and to maintain a balance in representation as the nation grew. Ultimately, it sought to ensure that the House accurately reflected the demographic changes in the United States.

The House of Representatives.
By the people
By population, bigger the population the more representatives a state will have in the lower house (House of Representatives)
There are two parts of Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Representation in the Senate is independent of population; therefore all states get the same amount of representation (2 Senators per state). Representation in the House of Representatives is dependent on population, which means that there is a different amount of representatives representing each state.
The number of Representatives from each state is based on the population of that state.
